In plain English

Webhooks.fyi is a website that helps people understand and work with webhooks, a way for different applications to automatically send information to each other when something happens. If you've ever set up a notification or integration between two apps, webhooks are probably doing the work behind the scenes. The site itself is built as a web application that runs in your browser. It's made with Node.js and npm (standard JavaScript tools), so developers can download it, run it locally on their computer to test changes, and then build a production version to put on a live server. The README shows how to get it running in just a couple of commands, which means the setup is straightforward for anyone familiar with modern web development. Someone would use this if they're learning about webhooks, building a service that needs to send or receive webhooks, or trying to debug why webhook integrations aren't working. For example, a SaaS founder building a payment processor might use this to understand how to notify customers when a transaction completes, or a developer integrating a third-party API might come here to figure out what data format to expect when a webhook arrives. The README is quite minimal, it doesn't explain what the site teaches or contains, just how to run it locally. That suggests it's primarily a reference or educational resource rather than a complex tool with lots of configuration options. If you want to know exactly what learning material or tools are on the site, you'd need to visit the actual website or look deeper into the code.
